NAURU MANDATES
STATEMENT BY LORD MILNER. (Reuter.) LONDON, July 31.' Lord Milner, speaking on the Nauru agreement, said that it was mainly in the first instance to act as mediator between Australia and New Zealand, in consequence of the difference mentioned, that Britain came into the matter as a third party, and the mandate was nominally given to the British Empire. It was really intended from the first to be a mandate to those portions of the Empire which alone happened to be more or less contiguous to Nauru, and almost exclusively inFerested in its .trade. Three British States were merely partners in this particular mandate, which in that respect stood alone among all the mandates; They were partners under conditions expressing the Peace Conference’s well-considered intentions.
